above: bre and i getting down with blaring music and a bottle of wine on saturday night.
she came over on friday and stayed for the weekend and it was like a little piece of home had come to keep me company. her timing couldn’t have been any more perfect – i’d been getting bored of the routine of this city – of the dirty lights and winding roads. her presence just made things that much better.
friday night –
i took her to factory. we bumped into her high school friends on the way and it reminded me of how small the world can seem. we’re all somehow connected and call me a romantic but the notion makes me smile. i will fall in love with someone and know that i’ve been tethered to them my whole life – in little, minute ways – and the strings have just been drawing together the entire time.
but enough of this sentimental mumbo jumbo.
we danced on risers and poured drinks down our throats and when we were good and ready, we left and headed to korova to meet her high school friends – who are now our university friends, because we all have to grow up sometime.
and then we went home, watched legally blonde and fell asleep.
saturday night –
we were feeling tired and lazy so we blasted some music and popped open some wine and soon we were ready to roll. we headed over to jan’s apartment to catch the last remnants of the power hour he was hosting. it was nice to see bre getting along with my friends and everyone was rowdy and happy and it was great. all of us went to mcdonalds afterwards to grab some grub and it was fun to make fools of our drunken selves in front of people we didn’t care for and who didn’t care for us.
we went back to rez and into laura’s room and continued our shenanigans before getting hungry again.
bre, joffjoff, sebastian and i decided to go get some $2 chow mein and it was on our way back that we got into a fight.
i don’t really know how it escalated but someone eventually insulted me, joffjoff and bre defended me and soon there were punches and blood and yelling and it was all very ridiculous so we pulled away and went back to rez.
bre got sassed by a girl in residence so i took her upstairs and we watched a few episodes of gossip girl before going to bed.
sunday night –
we spent catching up and debriefing over a couple of cups of coffee in the cold night air. we’d spent almost an hour walking around trying to find a nice cafe or a bar to just have a chat in, but everywhere we went was either too quiet or too empty so we ended up at the second cup across the street. we talked and reminisced and generally enjoyed each other’s company, and then we went back home and to sleep.
she’s gone now, and i already miss her.
having her here reminded me how happy i can be when i’m surrounded by the right people
i guess i’ll just have to get used to what my life is now.
